Entrevista al Doctor Edgardo Diaz Ferguson – Restauración de ecosistemas marinos

¿Es posible recuperar los ecosistemas marinos degradados o dañados y, a futuro, garantizar la conservación y el uso sostenible de los océanos, mares y los recursos marinos, como lo plantea el Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible #14?. En la Tierra todo está conectado. Las corrientes, los fenómenos atmosféricos y los ciclos de la naturaleza. Los océanos

Genetic Approach of the Coiba island howler monkey Alouatta coibensis coibensis from PANAMA, and its conservation Implications

Studies on genetic diversity are key to conservation management because they may determine the resilience of primate populations under environmental and anthropogenic changes. Herein, we studied genetic diversity and connectivity in a population sample of the Coiba island howler monkey Alouatta coibensis coibensis from Coiba island in Panama. We collected 14 faecal samples from individuals

First scenic assessment of the Coiba National Park’s beaches (Panama)

Coiba National Park (PNC) is one of the most important marine protected areas in the Americas, as an essential part of the Eastern Tropical Pacific Marine Corridor. As a marine protected area, its main objective is biodiversity conservation, although nature-based tourism and nautical activities are allowed. This research focused on the application of the Coastal

Characterizing oceanographic conditions near Coiba Island and Pacific Panama using 20 years of satellite-based wind stress, SST and chlorophyll-a measurements

Coiba Island and the associated Special Zone of Marine Protection represent an important, yet poorly studied marine reserve along the Pacific coast of Panama. While efforts have recently began to establish monitoring programs in the region, a range of historical, marine-related environmental measurements already exist, derived from satellite-based observations. The goal of this paper was

Fishery and conservation implications of molecular characterization and traceability of ceviche samples from Pacific Panama

Genetic analysis of 111 samples from ceviche cocktails and fish fillets used for ceviche, obtained from fish markets and processing plants in the Pacific zone of Panama were conducted to determine species composition, trace origin (native, nonnative or imported frozen species) and CITES species status. A total of 21 species were detected (20 fishes and
